One of the things that sets off this burger is the use of the pumpernickle roll that is freshed baked and the size of a kaiser. The roll with the micro-greens really pair nice to accent the burger & sauce. The peanut sauce has my spin on it, it has crystalized ginger for a unique ginger flavor. The burger has roasted garlic, crysatlized ginger & my secret ingredient...allspice. Enjoy!
